Dear Mr. Obama: My only regret as a Canuck...
 

...is I wasn't able to help vote you in.

Hopefully you'll like our Prime Minister - Stephen Harper.

He's not a poutine-eating asshole from Quebec...so that's a good start. :1orglaugh

Hey! I hear that Poutine shit is yummy. No?

Harper is an idiot

yes, harper sucks ass.

poutine is pretty tasty

1800 calories from fat though, but it tastes good :1orglaugh

Don't worry Harper will loose the next election. They don't have a majority government.

The Liberals have to seriously get their act together for that to happen. I'm just happy he still has a minority...for now.

Yeah ONLY because of the BQ which isn't even a national party... stupid frenchies wanting to be their own country. Retards.

I voted for Harper. Well, actually I voted for Peter Goldring. It was my first time voting because I wasn't old enough in the last election.

Obama mania will sweep throughout the world including Canada, so rest assure Harper won't win the next one.

Ya Dion was weak, it kind of hard to vote for his party.

Oh yeah...he's gonna lose to Boob Rae, right?

Muahahahaha! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

dions REVENUE NEUTRAL carbon tax would have stopped the tying of our dollar to oil prices

something which has fucked over every other industry in canada.
good idea, really bad sound bit.
Guy can't carry himself in a debate either
harper turned this country into a resource economy and dion didn't tear him a new asshole for it.

btw you do realize that obama hates nafta and likes to blame it for the woes in the US.
so expect some blame canada to come from his presidency.

Obama was the more protectionist of the two candidates running. Will you still fawn for him when those tendencies kick in and it costs someone in your region their manufacturing job? How about if he places restrictions on the importation of oil sands?


I know the hate for Bush is strong up here and the symbolism of Obama being elected was even stronger. Why Canadians think Obama was the better candidate when it comes to how the U.S. will deal with Canada though is a mystery.

Since its foundation Canada has been known as a "hewer of wood and drawer of water" so its just a little far fetched to say that Harper turned us into a resource economy

more like 1/3 of that.. unless your eating for the family.

Americans eat fries with mayo.. how much better can that be?

virtually every country ever formed started out as a resource economy,
when the romans invaded the gauls they set up the government to cut the lumber and mine the mines to pay their duty to rome.

The US was a resource economy when it started too,

our resource ties became a smaller portion of our dollars worth under trudeau, and to some extent mulroney, however harper shifted us back to a resouce economy
which resulted in our dollar being tied heavily to oil prices.

it one of the reasons our dollar is worth so much compared to the US dollar (comparitively to Euro/ yen) we hold our value because oil prices prop our dollar up (which hurts all the other industries)

The carbon tax would have decoupled the dollar from oil prices by quickly putting a buffer between the enviromental responsiblity we has canadian foster which was normally ofset by the lower value of your dollar and the price of the resource we sell (oil)

Obama won't like Harper, and Harper is sad now as he was a pro Bush Ass licker.

Fuck Harper :321GFY

Give young Trudeau 6-8 years and let's give the guy a chance. If he's like is father then he will be a great leader for this country.

I doubt the Democrats will like our so called Prime Minister (so called because less than a majority of Canadians actually voted for him since we have too many left side parties but that is another story all together). You are right he is not from Quebec, nope he's a ultra secretive right wing conservative bible thumper from Alberta, much better :1orglaugh.

Badabing... we have a winner. The ONLY reason Haper got re elected is that only 60% of registered voters voted because everyone was away to ashamed of electing a guy name Stephane Dion who as zip of Charisma, Nada of Cahounas to give it to Harper... Basically a total loser with a first name that's ment for a hockey player or a guy that pumps gas... Sorry for all the Stephane's out there ;-)

Once Liberals re elect someone good take over will happen.

Again it is far fetched to say that Harper, who was first elected with a minority government in '06, is responsible for the Canadian economies relience on resource exports.

Obama already dosen't like Harper.

Obama was telling americans that he would change the free exchange treaty, while a journalist released from Harper that obama assured him he wouldn't change it for now.

Harper would be a middle of the road candidate in the U.S.; either Dem or Repub. He is a far cry from what passes for right wing in the U.S.

Show me a right winger in the U.S. for universal health care, who would allow same sex marriages, have no interest in banning abortions, etc...

If he's anything like his father...he'd hide out in northern Quebec to avoid serving in the military. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Pierre Trudeau was a good leader at times - but I could never forgive him for being a draft dodger.
